Students participated in two divisions: I (grades 3 and 4) and II (grades 5 and 6).

Volunteer coaches met with the kids once a month, discussing the books and keeping the groups on task.

The final competition had kids answering questions about the books, followed by a celebration with pizza and prizes.
While the top three teams in each division were recognized, an organizer said the goal of “Reading Games” is to increase reading and enjoyment; and all the kids are considered winners as a result.

Students received a bag of tokens and prizes from the following: Pizza Ranch. Bank of the West, Culvers, Casey’s, Fareway, Viking State bank, Decorah Bank and Trust. Once Upon a Time and Dragonfly Books offered books at a discount throughout the program.
